WHY NOT DOUBLE YOUR CLOVER ACREAGE TtflS FALL? Prog/ossivo Fanner/' k AVd wish ©very Progrpsfltoo, farmer YG&uflfi would ask himself seriously now whether he ought w>t to* double his elo* vor acreage this full—tlint is to say, how just twice ns >mu\h Hover this full ns ho hus ever sown before. A ton of Hover hay' contains a little more nitrogen than a ton of 8-2-2 fer tilizer, and an acre of ordinary land will grow a ton of Hover hay. Clover Ini* proved land—land that is brought up to a high degree of fertility by -system- ntlc rotation, including Hover—will pro* duec two Ions to the acre or more, With nitrogen in fertilizers easting 25 cents per pound the 40 pounds of nitro gen in one ton of elovor lmy is worth $10; the nitrogen in two tolls is worth $20. How ninny Southern farmers can afford to lose thih $10»6r $20 ml acre by failure to grow Hover this full / Have we not thousands of'acres—mil lions of them—tlmtlouf all. the'winter / Worse than thirty tllPy Will not merely-' loaf or bo idle, but Actually grow poorer Kefofd'"the next' spring. *CoVer’ those' Hcres with Hover, then this soil-wnsting Will, be reduced, bra minimum iipd'freo pitrogoa ,<frpm tliuujair will be trapped mid swfed hi jjhcyfapil. The enrichment 6f the soil'i^by growing legumes is so Hmjfle, easy, nml inexpensive that we itygfl cVery .reader \o sy.t .the exumple, of, doublpig Ilia-clover acreage -this falf and thus leavl his neighbors intp’getting the fienellf tfipt., ( vvill be suri.* to follow.. But clovers are not useful merely f<p* enriching land. Legumes are at the head of rough feeds for feeding livestock, and the best of them are equal to wheat bran pound for pound ns a feed. It of ten happens that sonio of us run short of feeds before the usual hoy crops are harvested and we are either forced to the necessity of buying feed or luffing our stock go hungry. Other farmers do not have enough feed to risk the venture of raising more livestock tlian they have been keeping. If we double our elovor acreage these difficulties will be met and overcome. Doubling our clover acreage may also care as of the bad habit of pulling fodder. If cured of this habit Wo can grow more corn and better corn. If we contract the clover and legume lmbit, all our crops will produce higher yields at less cost, nml our land will lin er me richer. ^ Jf we are to get the fine results we ought to get from oirr doubled Hovel* acreage, however, we must tidm Hovers into our family of crops and oh an equal footing with the others, make them at home, nml treat them right, plovers re quire a well-prpnred, firm sebd bed; they demand lime, and they cannot suc ceed unless inoculated with their special variety of nitrogen-gathering bacteria, Jf fertilizers pn.j* under other crops, they will pay under Hover, The seed must have moisture for germination and sow ing. should )>o done f nnl,y -when there is ample moistuh* in the soil. Sow a peek of seed to*the acre, cover with a weeder apd press the soil about them with a rpllpr of. drag; or, better still, with cnlti-pncker or corrugated roller. -■— -o A HUMAN MYSTERY. Atlanta Constitution. When “Patty” Arbuckle was releas ed on bond pending his trial for man slaughter, press reports say that “ women* from the audience swarmed to the mil which stood between Arbuckle and the audience nml began wringing his hand, patting him on tho back and congratula ting ldm;” also that when he left the court-room and went out upon the street a free man he was “literally mobbed” by women, who- showered joyful congrat ulations upon him. It may be that Arbuckle is not guilty of murder, nor of manslaughter, but the evidence adduced nt ids commitment hearing all goes to show that the Ar buckle affair was revolting in every <lc* tail. It was bnd enough from the view point of the average hardened nfnn, but how self-respecting women eoulrl “show- ^ congratulations” upon the 'central figure of the disgraceful debauch is be yond comprehension. Men are by nature supposed to be more tolerant of the coarser things in life, and inclined to be more lenient to ward moral depravity than are women; Woman is more finely attuned to the lofty ideals of personal conduct. And yet, it seems, there were , good: women in Snn Francisco—a veritable “mob” of them—who not only did not shudder at the revolting developments of Fatty’s gin debauch party, but who “patted him on the back” and deluged him with felicitations I Why is it, apd what is in the lmnmu nature that, occasionally causes such par adoxical demonstrations by women, we are at n loss to understand. It is one oP the ,mysteries of human emotionB^that never has been, and prom ably, never will be, ciptyiupd.
